that is designed for a turntable. Target audio racks used make one that also had reverse spike under the table support. These worked well for Linn LP12 tables. Do you have carpet or just hardwood flooring and is it a second story floor?

This will be the cheapest way to try first to address this issue/s. This should fix your problem unless you there are structure issues. A picture of you system or rack that the turntable is sitting on would help.

I had an Linn LP12 when I was living in a house with hardwood floors with carpet over it. This was a first floor but had a crawl space under the floor. The Linn's suspension worked but I didn't like the way it moved when I walked by it. So I installed a Target Turntable wall mount and it worked great!

I also had a Technics SL-1600MKII which is really close to the Technics SL-1200mkII. That table was affected even more by the floor. So before you go out and start buy expensive gear, I would try the target first.

Also I had saw on either this forum years back or another that someone had this same issues and nothing worked. He actually had to drive some screws into some either floor stud supports or some thing to that nature to fix he problem that was actually due to some loose boards or Studs supports. It worked for him.

Also try placing the system in a different stop if you can. Sometime a different location will even work to reduce or eliminate it.

Please post back and let us know what you have done and if it has worked.
